寫作應(yīng)試技巧

1、寫作應(yīng)試技巧寫作部分的比分占總分的15%,測試時間為15分鐘.對大多數(shù)學(xué)生來說,寫作是一難點。因此，考生該部分的得分一般都不高。為了使考生熟悉考試寫作體裁，掌握寫作方法，提高寫作能力，根據(jù)基本要求和考試大綱，下面就高等學(xué)校英語應(yīng)用能力考試可能涉及到的體裁及寫作方法一一進行分析和講解。便條（Notes）一、題型分析便條在我們的日常生活當(dāng)中隨處可見，往往內(nèi)容涉及信息性較強，所以要求考生用簡單的語言完整地傳遞信息。若是有關(guān)道歉內(nèi)容，考生應(yīng)言之成理，動之以情。二、應(yīng)試技巧1正確運用格式便條的寫作格式同普通信箋的格式大體一致，包括寫作時間、稱呼、正文，結(jié)束語和具名共五部分。但在傳遞感謝內(nèi)容的信息與單純的

2、通俗信息時，寫作時間可以不具。2正文寫作應(yīng)注意的技巧寫作正文時應(yīng)注意以下四點：(1)使用非正式的、通俗的語言。(2)不要將寫作人與稱呼混淆。(3)單詞或詞組使用的準確性。(4)用委婉的語氣、商量的口吻向別人建議、道歉、邀請、詢問、感謝，以期對方接受。3正確運用如下常見的語句(1)通俗信息便條。如：ThereHere is I havegot(2)約會信息便條。如：CouldWouldwill yOU Id like to(3)感謝便條。如：Thank you (very much) for Many thanks forI am writing to thank you forI am wri

3、ting to express my appreciation of all thatI am writing to tell you how grateful I am for(4)道歉便條。如：Im so/terriblyextremely sorry that I would like tO express my apologies for(5)邀請便條。如：Would you like to Would it be possible for you toWe should be very glad if you could(6)請求、詢問便條。如：Would you please I

4、would like toI would be grateful if you could We would appreciate doing三、范文分析Dear liu，I have something important to tell you，please call me at 8 tonightWang分析 這是一張通俗的信息便條，Wang有重要的事要告訴Liu，希望Liu與自己聯(lián)系。該便條很明顯沒有寫作時間和結(jié)束語。前面我們提到過單純的通俗信息與感謝信息的傳遞不須注明寫作時間，若非注不可，也就是即日，即收箋的那一日。首句I have句式表明“我”有一些，很自然地、明確地引出信息內(nèi)容。

5、使用了有說服力的詞如important，tell等，突出地表現(xiàn)了信息的重要性。其他幾類便條就不再一一分析了，它們與同類信箋的寫作技巧大體相似，就不在此贅述了。惟一提醒考生注意的是，在寫道歉便條時，要實事求是，條理清晰地道明原委，切不可胡編亂造。四、練習(xí)請以Judy的名義給Jane寫一張便條，請Jane盡快將其工作計劃告訴Judy。參考答案 lst, JuneDearJane，Please inform me as soon as possible your working planThanks Judy通知(Notice)一、題型分析英文通知的格式與中文通知格式大體相同，這點考生容易把握。其內(nèi)

6、容簡單、具體，要求寫明具體事項，以便告知相關(guān)人員。二、應(yīng)試技巧1注意中、英通知的細微差別和中文通知一樣，英文通知由標題、正文、落款(或時間)三部分組成。標題寫在正文上方正中部位，常以Notice作標題。它可大寫首字母(Notice)成整個單詞(NOTICE)。落款即發(fā)出通知的單位和時間寫在正文右下角，有時發(fā)出通知的單位可以省略，時間也可寫在單位名稱下一行的左下角。2書寫正文時要注意的幾點(1)內(nèi)容要簡潔、清楚。例如，會議通知要寫清時間、地點、出席人員，必要時還可以寫明會議內(nèi)容。(2)多采用被動語態(tài)，人稱用第三人稱。如：All the students of the Computer Depar

7、tment are required to meetA lecture on linguistics will be given by Professor Xiao(3)為了能引起廣泛的注意，正文起首常標以“ATTENTION"字樣或以“Attention，please"開頭。如：ATTENTION，A visit to(4)放假通知應(yīng)寫明放假天數(shù)及收假日期。如：Tomorrow being National Day，there will be no work for seven daysWork will be resumed on Oct.8三、范文分析Sample 1

8、NOTICEAll the members of the StudentsUnion are requested tO meet in the department conferenceroom on Monday，July 5，at 7:30 p.mto discuss the plan of the sports meetStudentsUnionJuly 1，2000分析 范文是布告體裁的通知。其格式規(guī)范，表述清楚。這是一個會議通告，開會的時間、地點、人員、會議內(nèi)容都一目了然。和中文的通知一樣，發(fā)出通知的部門即范文中的StudentsUnion和日期可寫在右下角，但有時日期也可寫在發(fā)通知

9、的部門的下一行的右下角。但考生常習(xí)慣性地將日期寫到右上角，這點應(yīng)注意。Sample 2March 10，2000Dear Lily，This is to inform you that due to bad weather tomorrows sports meet will be postponed until March 15School Athletic Committee分析 范文是通知的另一種形式即書信體。它的格式與便條很相似，包括寫在右上角的日期、稱呼、正文及落款即發(fā)通知的部門。同樣，它的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該清楚、簡潔，讓人一目了然。四、練習(xí)請擬一張國慶節(jié)放7天假的通知。請以英語系辦公室的名義

10、擬一個組織教師去韶山參觀的通知。參考答案Notice Sep.30，2000Tomorrow being National Day，there will be no work for 7 daysAll the managers and workers are required to take part in the celebrations to be held in the conference room in our company on Tuesday，Oct 1，at 8:00 amWork will be resumedOn Oct8Office of General Manage

12、內(nèi)容較為容易掌握，故相對于推薦信、申請信等篇幅較長的應(yīng)用文而言，其得分率要高，且該類型的應(yīng)用文要求文體正式、語言得體，尤其是用禮貌的語言向領(lǐng)導(dǎo)講述清請假的理由。二、應(yīng)試技巧1了解請假條的基本情況(內(nèi)容) 請假條是便條的一種，主要用于因病或因重要事情須向領(lǐng)導(dǎo)請示批準某一特定時間的假。根據(jù)其請假理由的不同，可把請假條分為病假條和事假條兩種。但不管是哪一種，都應(yīng)包括以下四部分內(nèi)容： (1)日期 日期通常應(yīng)在正文右上角，因清假條涉及到的是最近時間內(nèi)的事情，故可直接用幾月，幾日或星期幾來表示，如April 10或10 April或Thursday。 (2)稱呼 稱呼常用常規(guī)信中的稱呼語，如Dear，Mr

13、，Professor，Dr等。 (3)正文 正文是請假條的核心部分，主要涉及到請假原因、請假時間，結(jié)尾時需用些表示感謝或請求批準的話語。切記理由要充分，在必要時應(yīng)附上相應(yīng)的證明。 (4)結(jié)束語的署名結(jié)束語常用yours faithfully 或 yours sincerely 或 yours truly等。2常用句型(1)起首用語請假條中起首句常用來說明請假原因或請假時間，常用句型如下：Id like to apply for three days leave of absence，starting from，and finishing onI am writing to ask for si

14、ck leave ofdays，starting fromtoIm sorry l cant attend the meeting becauseasOwing toAs，I shall be unable to(2)結(jié)尾常用語請假條中結(jié)尾用語常用來表示感謝、請予批準等。常用句型如下：I should be very obligedgrateful if you grant me the leaveI hope you will grant me the leaveHoping you will excuse my non-attendanceIll certainly do my best

16、ays leave tomorrow Yours respectfullyRobin Ford分析 這是Robin Ford給秘書Frick的一張請假條。其中包括日期(April 25)、稱呼語(Secretary Frick)、結(jié)束語(Yours respectfully)、署名(Robin Ford)以及核心部分正文。就正文而言，一個主從復(fù)合句就給出了請假條正文所應(yīng)包含的所有的信息，如請假理由：“My brother is moving to Canada tomorrow"，請假時間區(qū)間為"tomorrow"，表示感謝的話語：“I shall be very

17、 much obliged"，請求批準的話語："you grant me application for one days leave”。從這些方面來看，該請假條體現(xiàn)出了請假條簡單明了這一特點。正文開頭以“As”引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句引出請假理由，這樣的開頭使人一目了然。范文 病假條 (English 2nd Year，Class B) April 21(To Department office)Ms Smith，Owing to a severe headache,I shall be unable to attend classes today.I enclose a me

18、dical certificate from the doctor.Hoping you will excuse my non-attendance.Yours respectfully Li Ming分析 該請假條從基本格式到內(nèi)容都符合請假條的要求，包括請假條中的信頭(系、年級、班級和寫假條的日期)，收假條部門以及收假條人名，其中的系、年級、班級和收假條部門也可省略，直接用最簡單的請假條格式，從內(nèi)容中可推斷出寫請假條人與收請假條人是師生關(guān)系。正因如此，請假人寫上了“I enclose a medical certificate from the doctor"以示請假理由并非借口，

19、以介詞短語"Owingto”引出請假理由，以句子“I shall be unable to attendclasses today"引出了請假時間區(qū)間即today，開門見山，直截了當(dāng)。四、練習(xí) 以Mary的名義向Professor John寫一張因病無法上課的請假條(注明缺漏的課日后補上)。要求：不少于30詞寫一封因家父病重須回家探望，故請求給予三天假的請假條(注明起止時間)。要求：60詞左右。參考答案 Nov12Dear professor John，Im sorry l cant come to your lecture today as I am running a

22、和非正式的書信體邀請信的格式。它的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該完整、明確，語言簡樸，態(tài)度熱情。其復(fù)函即接受邀請或謝絕邀請也具有上述特點。二、應(yīng)試技巧1注意不同場合的邀請信使用格式的不同 邀請信的正式程度由邀請者與被邀請者間的關(guān)系來決定。正式的邀請信的格式與普通書信的格式相同，由寫信人的地址、日期、收信人姓名及地址、稱呼、正文、結(jié)束語及署名七個部分組成。而用于熟悉朋友間的非正式邀請信則可省略寫信人地址、收信人姓名及地址，稱呼也可隨便些。邀請信復(fù)函的格式和正式程度與邀請信相同。2正文要求寫清的幾個方面 (1)邀請信的正文 (a)直截了當(dāng)?shù)靥岢鲅埐⒅赋鰰r間(年、月、日、鐘點)、地點、場合。 (b)請對方確認或表示期待

25、d Im looking forward to seeing you soon. Yours， Lucy分析 以上是Lucy寫給Peter的一封共進晚餐的邀請信。由于是非正式場合，省略了寫信人地址、收信人姓名及地址、正文開頭提出了邀請，并講明了具體的時間、地點(on Sunday，Dec.20，at 8:00 p.m.，my place)。最后表達了熱切的期盼之情(looking forward to seeing you soon)。 Dec17，2000Dear Lucy， Thank you for your kind invitation to dinner at your place

26、 on Sunday，Dec20，at 8:00 p.mI do accept it with great pleasureIt seems quite a long time since we met lastIm looking forward to seeing you. Yours,Peter分析 以上是Peter表示接受邀請而寫的一封回信。正文開頭對邀請表示感謝，并確認了時間、地點。接著明確表示樂意接受邀請(I do accept it with great pleasure)。最后表示了熱切盼望那一天的到來。此信的關(guān)鍵是要寫明接受邀請，而不能出現(xiàn)“Ill accept it Im

27、free"這類模棱兩可的句子。 Dec17，2000Dear Lucy， Thank you for your kind invitation to dinner at your place，But lm sorry that I have to decline itIll visit my former teacher that dayI do hope to see you when Im free Yours， Peter分析 這是一封peter因故不能出席的謝絕邀請信。同樣，正文開頭表達了被邀請的謝意。接著明確地謝絕邀請并解釋了原因(But Im sorry that l h

28、ave to decline it,Ill visit my former teacher that day)。此處用到的套語有： Thank you very much for your kind invitation to Im sorry that四、練習(xí)按下列要求寫一封邀請信及復(fù)函： 以Wang Li的名義給他朋友Li Min寫一封邀請信，請他五一節(jié)期間來杭州游玩。 以Li Min的名義寫一封接受邀請信。 因Li Min在這期間要去廣東考察工作單位而謝絕邀請，請以Li Min的名義寫一封謝絕信。參考答案 April 20，2000Dear Li Min， It is really a

49、。最常見的錯誤是主題不突出，語言太羅嗦，或者欠規(guī)范。此外，考生往往忽略格式的寫作，導(dǎo)致失分。二、應(yīng)試技巧1正確運用寫作格式 由于慰問信通常是寫給親友的，彼此都較熟悉，其信內(nèi)收信人地址、姓名、寫信人地址及姓名均可以省略。所以慰問信的格式通常由日期(date)、稱呼(salutation)、正文(body)、結(jié)束語(closing)及署名(signature)五部分組成。2.恰當(dāng)選用如下常見句型 (1)開頭常用的有： I was shockedsaddeneddistressedgrieved to hear that It was a greatprofound shock to hear We

50、 have just heardlearned with profound sorrowregret the sad tragic news(of) I just cant tell you how sad I am(to hear of) We want to offer our deepestMay I express my most heartfelt sympathy at the loss of (2)結(jié)尾常用的有： Please accept our very sincereheartfelt condolenceconsolation in your great loss We

52、 to let us know3正文部分應(yīng)注意的三個方面 (1)尊重對方的感情，表達慰問的主題。同情和慰問應(yīng)該是發(fā)自內(nèi)心的，而且要親切、溫暖、富于人情。 (2)語言要簡潔。所要表達的感情是豐富而復(fù)雜的，但這些感情不一定全寫進一封信中，應(yīng)去掉那些冗長的頌詞和傷感的話，對方已經(jīng)很悲痛了，不要用更大的悲痛或與此無關(guān)事情的冗長解釋來加重他的負擔(dān)。比如用一兩句話表達對收信人已故父親的尊重與仰慕，點到為止。(3)表示愿意提供幫助。這一點不一定適合所有的情況，但如果動機是誠懇的，而且確實能夠做到，那么在信中表示愿意幫助無疑是一種最有效的安慰。4避免錯誤的文化遷移 中國學(xué)生受本族文化的影響，在寫慰問信時往往發(fā)生錯誤的文化遷移，常使用類似這樣的句子："There is nothing anyone can say at a time like this”“Words cannot express our feelings”或“We dont know what to say at this time”這類話是極不應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)的，它們顯得似乎有意拉長一個表達悲傷的簡短句子，而在對方需要幫助時卻又無能為力。三、范文分析 July 6，2001My dear Margaret，
